Voices of Music: Leonardo da Vinci: A Musical Odyssey

This concert explores the music that Leonardo da Vinci would have heard in the cities in which he lived. There is no surviving music that da Vinci played or composed, but through the writing of Giorgio Vasari and contemporaneous accounts we know that Leonardo was an acclaimed virtuoso on the lira da braccio, and that he loved to accompany himself as he sang improvised poetry. Join us for our story which will take you on a journey through Leonardo’s musical world.
